Hello,
I'm busy making a display in processbook.
I use process book version 3.2.0.0.
This is off course provided with the playback option.
This may sound stupid but I can't find the playback toolbar.
When looking under view > toolbars or right click in the toolbar
there is not option to select a box for the playback toolbar.
Do I need to install this seperately, because I tought it would be installed when I installed process book.

Arnow,
The playback tools are on a different "toolbar" than the rest of the toolbars. Click view, then toolbar manager. A new toolbar will appear (or disappear if it is already enabled). If the playback toolbar isn't on this toolbar, right click it and choose playback.
Hope this helps.

Close processbook
Reset your toolbar config by deleting the following file (depending on OS) it should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\(Your profile)\Application Data\PISystem\PI-ProcessBook\en\PBToolbarConfig.ini
Restart Pbook
If is doesn't work, search your C-drive for PBToolbarConfig.ini and delete them.

I have been away for a week following a course for work.
But now I tried your advice squatty, I deleted the PBToolbarConfig.ini file, I checked the C drive for others.
Restart Processbook and I still don't find the Playback tool in the Toolbar Manager.
The ini file is then remade again.
I tried this several times by deleting and restarting ProcessBook.

Just for a record i did simulation of arnow's situation:
1. install PB 3.2.0.0, you get all the futures includes toolbar manger + browser + playback
2. Close PB, go to Program Files\pipc\Procbook and delete OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.dll
3. now, you can not get toolbar manager and so browser + playback in PB
4. you can back dll file but it will not help. Only re-install PB can help.
Probably in some place (maybe PC registry) after deleting dll PB writes some information
I get registry events with Process Monitor about dll:
21:41:10,5459708 Procbook.exe 4892 RegOpenKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PISystem\PI - ProcessBook\Addins\OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.Connect SUCCESS Desired Access: Delete
21:41:10,5460054 Procbook.exe 4892 RegDeleteKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PISystem\PI - ProcessBook\Addins\OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.Connect SUCCESS
21:41:10,5462388 Procbook.exe 4892 RegCloseKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PISystem\PI - ProcessBook\Addins\OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.Connect SUCCESS
21:41:10,5463114 Procbook.exe 4892 RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\PISystem\PI - ProcessBook\Addins\OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.Connect NAME NOT FOUND Desired Access: Read
Maybe this is the root of problem.

Now, i do repair the situation
For example, i can delete OSIsoft.PB.ToolBars.Playback.dll
I starts PB and there is no Playback addin of course because there is no dll. So, i need back dll to directory C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC\Procbook.
More complicated case if someone delete OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.dll file. When PB starts it also delete from registry key.
So, if i will return dll to directory C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC\Procbook - it will not be enough. I need too restore registry key
If someone want restore ToolBarManager, take this code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PISystem\PI - ProcessBook\Addins\OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.Connect]
"CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000
"Description"="This add-in allows the inclusion of custom toolbars into PI ProcessBook."
"FriendlyName"="Extended Toolbar Manager add-in"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
and save it with reg extension.
My machine windows 7 64 bit. I think server 2008 64 bit same
arnow, can it help to you?

I made a reg file with your code in placed it in: C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC\Procbook
I runned this file and restarted ProcessBook, still no playback toolbar.
Or did I understand your logic wrong?

I first removed OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.dll and run the reg file. I restart PI Processbook and still no playback toolbar.
I get the warning : 'Extended toolbar manager add-in' could not be loaded. Remove it from the list of available Add-Ins?
Then I have to choose Yes or No. This make no difference whatever you choose.
I replaced this dll file and restart PI ProcessBook, still no playback toolbar.
I also tried removing the OSIsoft.PB.ToolBars.Playback.dll start PI Processbook. Replacing it and restarting PI Processbook. Still no playback toolbar.
I'm a little bit confused do I need to re-install PI ProcessBook after deleting the dll files, because that is something I did not yet tried.

What windows do you using? Maybe registry do not fit your OS? Why did i ask it? Becouse Wow6432Node exists only on 64-bit machines. One of my PCs is XP, and regestry key other: Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PISystem\PI - ProcessBook\Addins\OSIsoft.PB.ToolBarManager.Connect]
"CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000
"Description"="This add-in allows the inclusion of custom toolbars into PI ProcessBook."
"FriendlyName"="Extended Toolbar Manager add-in"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003

Yes I did this and this is how the whole problem started. Then in the toolbar manager I right click and "v" next to "Playback" is enabled but still the "Playback" toolbar is not visible, despite all the things I already tried before as already mentioned here above.

So, 1. remove both files: from C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC\Procbook\en file OSIsoft.PB.Toolbars.Playback.resources.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC\Procbook file OSIsoft.PB.ToolBars.Playback.dll 2. start PB 3.
